35 Years in the Trade. Two Decades in Northern Delaware. Started Precision Home Worx in 2023.
About the Owner
Jimmy Grubb spent the 1990s running JL's Painting Service in Virginia — light remodeling and professional coatings — before moving his family to Delaware in 2010. After more than a decade working under another local contractor, he founded Precision Home Worx in 2023 because he wanted to run his own jobs his own way — slower, cleaner, and right the first time.
Jimmy lives in the Concord area, raised his kids through Concord Christian Academy, and is active at Concord Baptist Church. He works directly with every customer from the first phone call through the final walk-through. No estimators, no subs handed the keys, no surprise charges.

When You Schedule Precision Home Worx — What Actually Happens
We respond within 24–48 hours.
Call (302) 321-3577 or fill out the contact form. Jimmy answers the phone directly during business hours (Mon–Sun, 7 AM – 8 PM). For a typical estimate request, you'll have a scheduled in-home visit within about a week. Frozen-pipe emergencies are handled the same day when we can.
You get a written estimate by email, usually within a week.
Flat-rate where possible, hourly where it makes sense ($70/hr for one professional, $100/hr for two). Every selection — fixture, brand, finish — comes with a link so you see exactly what we're ordering before we order it. The Quote is good for 30 days.
Jimmy comes to your home for the estimate — with booties on.
Free in-home estimate, no sales pressure. Jimmy brings samples, measuring tools, and a notepad. Booties go on before the front door opens — your home gets treated like a home, not a job site.
On install day, drop cloths and runners go down from your entry to the work area.
Standard practice. Your floors, your carpet, your furniture — covered before any tools come out. Shut-off valves get replaced on every appliance or fixture we install, not just the ones that need it. That detail alone separates us from contractors who skip the $25 valve to save 15 minutes.
We walk you through the finished work and back it with a one-year warranty.
Comprehensive warranty on workmanship and materials, dated from completion. If something isn't right — call us. We make it right.
Case study — Kingsridge bathroom remodel (M.P.): "We were selling our home and had a number of small and large projects to finish before putting it on the market. I had done a few DIY projects, but was falling behind in both time and skill level. We had Precision Home Worx complete a job I couldn't handle. Once we saw the quality, speed and cleanliness, I realized Jimmy could help us with so much more. He did the job right and so much faster than I could. He remodeled our master bath from the studs out including a beautiful tile job in our shower, built a new wall in a closet, installed drywall, installed new door casing that perfectly matched existing molding, did ceiling repair and enclosed skylight openings. Jimmy is a Master craftsman!"

Why Choose Precision Home Worx
35+ years in the trade — and Jimmy answers the phone.
Most local handymen are either newer operators learning from your project or established companies where you'll never speak with the owner. Jimmy Grubb has been doing residential carpentry, remodeling, and finish work since 1990. When you call (302) 321-3577, that's who picks up. With Precision Home Worx, it's Jimmy from the first phone call to the final walk-through.
Drop cloths and runners go down before any tools come out.
It sounds like a small thing. It's not. Most contractors track grit and sawdust across hardwood and carpet, leaving you to clean up after they leave. Every Precision Home Worx job starts with drop cloths from your entry to the work area — your home gets protected, not just your project.
Booties go on before the front door opens, even at the estimate visit.
Shut-off valves are replaced on every install — not just the ones that need it.
This is the line on the current Precision Home Worx site that says it best: "It is appalling when other tradesmen will not go the extra mile and install a $25.00 shut-off valve when the existing one is in poor condition." Standard practice on every appliance, fixture, and water heater we install.
When the next plumber visits in five years, they'll find a working valve and a clean install — not a corroded surprise.

Why Choose Precision Home Worx
Can I see your Delaware Department of Revenue license number?
Any DE contractor doing residential work should have one. Verify it at the Delaware Division of Revenue website.
Can I see proof of general liability insurance and a current COI?
If they hire any employees, ask about workers' compensation too — Delaware requires it for any business with one or more employees.
Who will actually do the work?
The same person who gave the estimate, a crew, or a subcontractor? You should know who's in your house and whether they're bonded.
Is the estimate written, itemized, and good for 30 days?
Verbal quotes and "trust me" pricing are red flags. Written estimates protect you.
If I decide not to hire you, is the estimate visit free?
FREE 2nd opinions and free in-home estimates are standard practice with reputable contractors. High-pressure same-day sales tactics are not.
Do you offer a workmanship warranty?
A material warranty covers the product. A workmanship warranty covers the install. Both matter.
Have you worked on homes from this era before?
Wilmington's pre-1978 housing stock, polybutylene-pipe homes from 1985–1995, and Brandywine Hundred stone foundations each have their own quirks.
